Ok.. so here's a shoutout that is a little late.. together with some shoutouts that are perfectly on time ;)
To all those S.I signal bunkmates, and anyone else who are having their overseas training as part of NS right now (yes prash.. i think you'd look at this =P ) .. All the best out there!! dun get eaten by wildlife ya? xD
To ppl taking A'lvls soon.. Best of luck!! dun give up k? even though studying's a pain.. its worth every single drop of sweat and blood once you achieve what you set out to get ;)
And most imptly.. To MeowMew!! to whom we've just jio-ed out to celebrate her b'dae with today =P haha..
It was a sneaky plan which dotty came up with.. To ask meows out without informing her about the "special guests" we invited =P simply Mr.Kitty (1st time meeting him.. but keep forgetting his real name =X) and Adelyn.. hehe, sadly.. her twin and our mumsies couldn't make it.. but we still made the best of things =)
so.. what was the plan? to put simply, we organised a time for all of us to meet up to find a cake.. then told our intended "bday girl" to meet up with us an hour later.. hehe.. eventually we settled for Secret recipe for a number of reason.. 1, its Halal.. 2, it offered to do writings for our bdae cake (and swensens didn't =T ) and 3.. probably cuz the guy at the counter was a funny guy.. ^^ hehe.. so with our venue and cake settled.. all that's left was to bring our recipient..
so me and dotty went to pick up meows from the mrt.. distracting her with random questions.. whilst leading her unknowingly to suntec.. that was the easy part =P what was difficulty was to seat her in a close proximity of our guests.. hehe, here was where we could have improved a bit.. when she dropped by the place, the way she gingerly paused.. covered her mouth with two hands to muffle a giggle.. i knew the gig was up.. and guess what gave it away? nopes, there wasn't any unintended action from our guests (since adel was drowned in my PSPgame Monster Hunter.. and the guy was playing mariokart).. but in meow's exact words "the first thing i noticed was his shoes!!" haha.. guess we shld have told mr.kitty to get a special pair of shoes for the day..
so.. there we had lunch.. Chatted randomly about anything under the sun.. i earned the usual scoldings from them of being too cold with my jokes.. and with nadia commenting "That's so like you to do (add random action here)".. which ranged from losing my previous 2 pair of specs..
mr.kitty seemed to be quite a fun loving guy as well! adding to the mood with antics such as *ahem*-ing really loud so we could get the waitress's attention.. or taking away dotty's plate so she couldn't eat, and buying time for meows to finish her lunch (since she kinda eats slow =P ) i guess dot might be right that we could be gd frens =)
so what happened next? out came the cake.. and by the time we finished 1/2, we couldn't eat anymore.. So.. we had a little bit of cream facial going on (dun worry.. the unfinished half was not involved =P ) hehe.. initially i intended to stay clean.. but i guess adel kinda noticed and smeared me some.. *bleah* must have been revenge for me suggesting "adel is a gd target cuz she's stuck in the corner" idea xD
Why can't all b'daes be like this? i dun mind getting creamed a little as long as everyone has fun =D
so aft that, we visited the arcade to hang out.. i now kinda know what are the games i shld learn more of.. Daytona specifically.. so i can crash ppl, and avoid them all ganging up against me =X lolz!! (guess you can figure out what happened xD ).. and House of the Dead 4.. so i can increase survival rates for me and my partner =) and oh.. maybe Ddr.. to make it look easy enough for ppl to wanna pick it up.. hehe.. turns out today was adel's 1st time seeing me do this ;)
towards the end.. we were scouting for a decent neoprints shop.. but found a mini-anime convention there.. haha.. our dear del was disappearing and reappearing around every corner.. only to disappear again to take more pictures of the artworks on display.. heh.. seems she's picked up freehand drawing as part of her course.. and in particular she's fascinated with the japanese stylised drawings of manga and animation =P JY adel in your drawing aspiration!! rmb to show me whatever progress you make k?
and so the day ended with nadia leaving to give tuition with half a cream cake in her (/her bf?) hand.. while mr.kitty and dotty followed her to the mrt.. as for me an adel.. we waited for the bus 857 to bring us to yishun interchange.. hehe.. not really sure why, but during that bus ride with her, i recalled all these strict gentlemen codes i used to follow.. one of them being to escort a lady if she was traveling alone =P another.. was to tend to her needs as best you may (buying drinks and accepting all favours etc).. haha.. looking back it does seem like quite a silly ideal.. it'd take more than that to suave the other gender into your general direction.. but overall, it wasn't a bad way to go through life.. somehow seeing del's cute expressions (esp those when she attempts to catch the melody of a song she's nv heard before) just makes these gentlemenly acts all worthwhile =) even when half-way i realised that 857 dropped pretty close to my place halfway along the journey.. i couldn't help but let her continue sampling whatever songs in my playlist that suited her fancy =P

There's this anime i just finished watching.. by the title of "Honey & Clover".. it's definitely one of the best romance animes i've seen thus far.. but there's this line in its opening theme that stuck me somewhere during the last episode.. that made me want to listen to it again and again.. here's how it goes..
"For every person passing by.. It gets more dramatic" =)
The song is aptly titled "Doramachikku".. (in other words "Dramatic" =P ) That's how i want my life to be like.. to add colour to the world.. the same way ppl add colour to mine ;)
haha.. i've given some thought as to how i'd paint my reality marble.. a world that reflects what's inside my soul.. and i finally think i've thought of something to my liking.. It'd involve a theatrical stage.. with curtains all about that leads to different scenery.. and the seats scattered all about in no arranged fashion.. haha.. a little hard to fit this concept into words.. but that's the briefest of descriptions i can spare for an idea i'm still concocting..
